Endorectal balloons are a single use, non-powered inflatable device placed in the rectum to immobilize the prostate in patients undergoing radiation therapy. These balloons are made of silicon or polyurethane material. Endorectal balloons minimize the challenges faced by physicians during the radiation therapy. Endorectal balloons are quick and easy to insert and remove by the therapist during the treatment. It is well tolerated in over 95% of patients. Single use balloons are used to reduce ano-rectal toxicity. Moreover, endorectal balloons are used in the treatment of prostate malignancies. Endorectal balloons offer protection against rectal complications from prostate cancer. Additionally, these balloons are used to spare the anal and rectal wall during the treatment of endometrial, bladder, and cervical cancer. The endorectal balloon advantage has been proven in intensity modulated radiotherapy and 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy for post-operative prostatic bed irradiation and prostate irradiation.

Endorectal Balloon Market – Competitive Landscape

The global endorectal balloon market is highly fragmented due to the presence of large number of players. Numerous manufacturers hold prominent market shares in their respective regions. Leading players in the global endorectal balloon market are QLRAD, AngioDynamics, Klarity Medical Products, Bionix, and RadiaDyne among other prominent players. These players are engaged in developing new technologies and strategies. Key developments by these prominent players are likely to propel the growth of the endorectal balloon market. For instance, in September 2018, AngioDynamics signed an agreement to acquire RadiaDyne and its radiation dose monitoring platform. This acquisition enabled the company to expand its oncology business portfolio. Demand for endorectal balloons has increased due to increase in prevalence of prostate cancer. Industry players are adopting practices of appointing third-party distributors to expand market presence. For instance, NL-Tec is a supplier of solutions for oncology in New Zealand and Australia.
